This book explores the detrimental cultural attitudes and behaviors associated with the rise of sentimental and romantic affections that emerged alongside modern manners. The author argues that the excessive indulgence in sentimental emotions is not only impractical but also unethical, even if it is often defended as a sign of civilization and personal refinement. The author believes that the trend toward prioritizing these self-serving feelings will ultimately weaken passion and virtue, eroding the value of the truest human connections. The book posits that this emotional self-indulgence weakens the moral fiber of people and society as a whole through its corrosive effects on both public and private life.
